I have decided to create this space to share my personal experiences, hoping that talking about my healings will help other women who are going through similar pains.
I am not a writer and never been a good writer, my English is not perfect but I'll do my best :-)
I am Italian, born and raised in the beautiful city of Florence and spent the last 10 years in Milan. About a year ago I moved with my husband to Ireland, as right after our wedding he has been relocated to Dublin.
I have a full time job as a sales professional working from an American corporation.
I am a life enthusiast and optimist overall, and I have started my journey in Dublin with lot of happiness and hopes of new experiences and friendships.
It was not that easy as I thought, new friendships didn't come easily, I have also moved to a new job working remotely but with a lot of travelling.
I am also trying to get pregnant, but being a 37 years old with PCOS doesn't make things easy and I will share more about this important topic.
Very soon I've started to feel very depressed and isolated, with nothing that could really make me feel happy. I was in a very dark place and I couldn't find a way to see the light again.
I soon realised that it's been a while I was not happy, and I was trying to convince myself that everything was great as there isn't anything wrong with my life. I have a great job, an amazing husband, family and friends I can count if I need help, lot of travels and overall a very intense life.
I was not happy for some reasons.
In Milan I was just filling the void with busy schedule with social life, travels, busy job and interests...
I needed the pace of Ireland, with the nature, the silence, far from everything that I used to fill the void. I finally faced myself, what was not making me happy anymore and what I had to do to change my life.
I've always been an intense spiritual soul since I was a little child, but due to always busy schedule I really didn't have much chances and time to connect with that. That's why I decided to reconnect my soul and understand what I could do to find the way to happiness.
I have started attending many different workshops related to moon craft, women circles, crystals etc
and met so many amazing souls.
I have restarted practising daily yoga and meditation and refresh so many interests that for some reasons I put on hold for a long time.
I will share more what really worked for me, what is my medicine and made me realise that I had to go through a dark period to really understand what I want and what I need. Everything happens for a reason.
I have heard the call that I can help other women. At the beginning I asked myself..what can I really offer? Then I thought, I can share my personal experience and my working experience. Offer tools to empower women, releasing the power feminine.
I am still learning, so I hope you will be in this journey with me.
During women circles I've realised so much I had in common with the other women, and how just sharing our stories was a healing for each of us. Most of my life I struggled to feel comfortable and accepted, I did not showed the real me because I was afraid not to be seen or accepted.
Externally people see me as a strong, independent woman. I thought It was easier to build this reputation rather than showing my feelings, my vulnerability. I was wrong.
Today I am fully naked starting writing this blog, perfectly on time at the rising of Full Moon in Libra, encouraging to share the voice and release what is not needed.
I am not afraid anymore to show the real me and to be seen as I really am.
